Well, yes. That's is exactly. WCRB is a commercial radio station. Unlike public stations funded by people and corporations who don't necessarily listen to or know anything about what they're supporting, or a college radio station program where only the DJ's girlfriend tunes in (or at least she says she does), WCRB has to have a legitimate audience to survive. If playing these 30 symphonies ensures the viability of a commercial all-classical radio format in this day and age, I have no problem with it. At any rate, it at least provides a fun opportunity to come up with individual Top-30 lists.
